Will Champagne Production Be Defined by Sustainability?

The future of champagne production and demand is being transformed through global warming and consumer behaviors. As global temperatures rise, the champagne region continues to experience an earlier harvest, which allows producers access to riper grapes. With earlier ripening, comes less need for sugar and creating of "zero dosage" or bone-dry styles.

In an effort to create sustainable futures, producers are now working towards complete environmental certification and developing experimental resistant hybrid grape varieties, such as Voltis, to combat vine disease. This transformation of the industry is also occurring in the commercial realm. Producers are focused on "premiumization", producing fewer bottles with higher price points to create exclusivity and luxury. With this transition, a large investment is being made in wine tourism by turning historic houses into hospitality destinations to strengthen consumer brand loyalty. Furthermore, while maintaining the integrity of the "Champagne" label as an internationally-recognized standard of quality and luxury, the next decade will provide opportunities for the champagne region to develop new styles that blend traditional methods with eco-friendly practices.
